The SSPO joins other bodies asking Parliament to reject a no-deal Brexit option.

The Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation (SSPO) joined representatives of Scotland’s £14 billion (€15.7 billion/$18 billion) farming, food and drink industry to call on all parties to reject the option of a "no deal" Brexit.

“Whilst recognizing there is no political consensus yet on a future trade relationship with Europe, the potentially catastrophic impact of not reaching any deal is clear,” said the SSPO.

The European Union accounts for 70 percent of Scottish food exports annually.

“By Parliament rejecting a 'No Deal' scenario, our industry effort can focus on shaping a future relationship with the EU that we can work with,” said the letter signed by the SSPO.

“There is no tolerance for 'No Deal' as an option. It must be rejected now.”
